Author Spotlight: Into the Nothing - BT Urruela

Into the Nothing

by BT Urruela

Blurb

Xander Evans
has been on the road for many years. Never settling. Always moving from one
place to another, unable to let go of his past. He lived a tragic childhood,
spending most of those years in foster care. He's never felt like he's had a
home. That is until he stops in the small town of Truman Valley, Missouri,
where he meets a woman who will change everything he's ever known.

Paige Watson
has it all. A loving family, beautiful home, and a great career. The only thing
she's missing....is love. After escaping an abusive relationship, she opens her
heart up to a stranger. He is unlike any man she's ever met. He came into her
life and turned it completely upside down. Everything is perfect. That is,
until one fateful night.

A night that
would tear the Watson family apart, never to be put back together again.

I literally just finished reading Into the Nothing and I rushed downstairs to put my thoughts down
for my review because holy space balls batman, this book….this book is
everything. My soul hurts; BT Urruela
broke me with this one. The suspense is
so subtle that you’re on the edge of your seat with a knot in your stomach
without even realizing it. When the
author said it is not your normal happily ever after, he was spot on. This isn’t your normal romance and if that’s
what you’re expecting, you’re in for a shock.

I loved that it was so character driven and that the
characters were so real. None of them
felt “perfect.” They each had their own
flaws and insecurities which made them all the more relatable. I had characters I loved, characters I hated
and ones that I just found creepy.
Xander definitely tugged on my heart strings the most.

Even with the foreshadowing, when the tragedy struck, it
caught me off guard. And from then on,
it was nail biting tension for me. I
needed to know the who dunnit. I thought
I knew; I was sooo sure I had it down. I
was wrong. The twist was brilliant. I cannot wait to read the next book. I want it now. -Peace and Love, Buxom J
